NAIROBI Patriots Jordan Richards Jersey , Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- Ever since the women's 3,000m steeplechase race was introduced at the World Championships in 2005, Kenya has always been confident of ruling the roost.

"I have what it takes to win," said Kiyeng. "Bring on the challenge and I will still beat anyone if am fit."
Nor can one discount the third Kenyan entrant, 26-year-old Beatrice Chepkoech, who followed Chespol home in Eugene in a personal best of 9:00.70, the third fastest time of the season. Chespol was also second in Shanghai and won in Paris.
